A large audience was gathered at the

trum, and in the next rows were
the remaining students of the college, The
faculty, numbering the leading alopathic
physicians of the city, occupied seats Oh
the rostrum. The exercises opened with
an overture by Danz' orchestra, which oc-
cupied the organ loft. After an impress
sive prayer by Rev. j. l.. Pitner, Prot.
Bradley, the superintendent of the
city schools, delivered the Grafton
of the evening. taking for his
subject Science and Industry" Mr..
Bradley's style is essentially didactic rather
than Oratorical. His address commanded
the close attention of his audience. He
showed what modern science had accom-
plished for the alienation of human ills,
and then, with great simplicity and clearness
he dwelt upon the intimate relationship of
science to all the various industries of life.
all of which have profited by the knowl-
edge thus afforded. Numerous illustrations
We're brought to bear on the subject from
agricultural, mechanical and medical
sources, to prove the points made by the
professor. The audience was much pleased
as we'll as instructed by the able paper.
II. G. Gates, the valedictorian of the
medical class, introduced his farewell re-
marks by witty reference to the deeds
done and to be done by his classmates. His
valedictory remarks to the faculty,
the students and his classmates
were earnestly made. Unlike most
occasions of this nature, Mr.. Gates
saw the humorous side of his subject. and
he was frequently interrupted by laughter.
His witticisms, however. did not detract
from the earnest thoughts and good advice
with which he parted from his fellow STU
dents. An elegant basket of flowers re-
warded Mr.. Gates for an unusually pleas
ing farewell address
James (. Cummings. valedictOrian of the
dental class, without Introductory remarks
proceeded to express to the trustees. the
faculty and his feliow-students the thanks
for favors received during their college
course and the good wishes which himself
and his classmates felt for those with
whom they had been associated as students.
The address was very short, and was dis
tinguished by good taste and kindly feeling.
After the valedctory words had been
spoken, the president of the college, Dr.
